Occurred : 8/23/2019 22:00 (Entered as : 08/23/2019 22:00) Reported: 10/27/2021 11:18:09 AM 11:18 Posted: 11/15/2021 Location: West Hartford, CT Shape: Light Duration: 30 minutes
((MUFON REPORT)) A SKYWATCH team in Connecticut was conducting routine observations and tracked object with NV system. A SKYWATCH team in Connecticut was conducting routine observations and running equipment tests on older and newer skywatch systems. They were tracking a conspicuous orange twinkling orb at around 22:00 hours (10:00 pm local), 02:00 UTC. The object on the western horizon first caught the attention of one of the group, who quickly alerted the rest of the team. Another team member had the night vision camera running with a tripod-mounted 20" flat screen with the NV camera on top. At first the orb was stationary. Once the target was moving, they had to manually track it on-screen, as it slowly moved from left to right (W-N). As it moved to the right it decreased in altitude. At one point the motion was described as "fell like a leaf". They watched it until it went below the tree line and out of sight. No noise was ever heard from the object.
